Hello: As an avid solo diver I thought it about time to get me a backup system. Is a 6 Cu. ft. pony tank the way to go, or would you suggest a Spare Air? I use a two-piece wetsuit and dive with 36 lbs. of weight so what would I need to do for weight if I carried a 6cu. ft. pony tank on my main tank/BC? Any suggestions welcome. I do have a spare set of regs I could use on the pony. Also, how much do they weigh and how many breaths would I get from one? Thanks B. Xavier
